Corporate insurance fraud/ deceptive practices

A public transit company in Oregon recently signed up its employees for a health benefits package that had a stated deductible for medical expenses. After the employees were signed up on contract for this medical insurance package, the company announced that out of pocket costs had changed and are now considerably more for each employee. Would this fall under the category of deceptive corporate insurance practices?

Health care plans change all of the time, and unfortunately costs continue to go up. It's highly unlikely that the company did anything fraudulent here, but you can talk to a local attorney and walk through the factual details: what's the plan, what were you told and when, what reliance did you put on the plan, etc.
